[Mailman-Users] SpamDetect loop?

Folks:

Since I upgraded to MM 2.1.7 I've noticed something odd in my admin
queue ... it appears that messages coming through the SpamDetect
pipeline for the owner-address are getting into a loop.

Basically, if I get a message in my admin queue for 'out of office'
(simple spam filter), I get dozens if not hundreds of the following also
in my admin queue ...

I will be out of the office starting  11/01/2006 and will not return until
07/02/2006.

It *APPEARS* to me that the spam detect filters are keying on the "out
of office" message that is included in the original message.

As an experiment, I've removed the SpamDetect entry from the
OWNER_PIPELINE entry in mm_cfg.py.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

david
